Real Food Photos - Never Food Snobbery - My goal is for you to taste exactly what you read about here when you order your food. I make a constant effort to publish non-biased, honest comments. All too often I've read reviews from "burger experts" praising a gourmet burger only to be disappointed come judgment day. For this reason, I do not go into a burger establishment with cameras blaring, announcing who I am... maybe that's the difference, you decide...

Breakfast Of Course (Mary's Too!): Crispy Madame

Comment: *Crappy Photo Alert: By now you know on the rare occasion I find a non-burger menu item worthy of a post on this blog, it's got to be damn good. While visiting my brother in NC, I ate at this place at my sister-in-laws suggestion. She had heard a lot about this place and always wanted to try it - that's all I had to hear. It did not disappoint. I have a

few photos (some crappy - sorry) of what we ordered. Mine was the Crispy Madam which had me salivating right out of the gate. It was very good, but not great and I felt it could very easily have made the short jump to "great" with a little more TLC. In retrospect, I'd order the Monte Cristo next time, they market it heavy and have great pride in it - when a chef is proud of his food you know it won't suck. Not much to review here, the "Build" pretty much covers it, decent ham and Swiss, decent bread, not enough ham for me, but hey, I'm a meat guy. Overall I have no problem recommending this place, by all means, try it out if you are ever in the area. 9.5/10
